Wine is constant proof that God loves us and loves to see us happy.
Benjamin Franklin


I don't think of myself as a role model. I do try to live in a compassionate, considerate and positive way. The only advice I can offer is to find what you love to do, find the joy in it, and express yourself through your passion.
~Barry Williams

Japanalia from Yokohama, Japan

I like travelling with my eyes up-and-down this image! The effect is so realistic, it makes me almost enter the frame! The bridge divides the image into two parts: the buildings above it and the effect on the water below it! While the presence of gondolas makes the image alive.Yes, beautiful!

@Japanalia: Thank you very much Gabriella! It was very hard to capture this part of the trip.....I was too busy staring in awe and wonder at the beauty of the surroundings..... ;-))

Ana Lúcia from Leiria, Portugal

Excelente composição. Espero que tenha feito o passeio numa gôndola.

@Ana Lúcia: Agradece muito, Ana! Sim, este tiro e vários outros seguir, foram fotografados em nossa viagem de gôndola. Uma maneira muito relaxante e cara para experimentar Veneza. ; -)

Judy from Brooksville, Florida, United States

Ditto to Japanalia/Gabriela's comment. I also love the color of the buildings reflected in the water.
Your POV can't be 'beat'.
